To mark the second anniversary of work beginning on the ‘MediaCity:UK’ project at Salford Quays, Manchester, Bovis Lend Lease organised a cake with a number of preferred suppliers, one of which being AFI Uplift – their preferred supplier for powered access equipment on site.
Topped with an edible scissor lift, plant machinery and site images, the cake was shared out amongst the 1,500 contractors who are working on site. MediaCity:UK is a 200 acre development for the creative and digital industries. The BBC will move 2,500 staff to MediaCityUK in 2011, including five departments currently based in London.
Bovis Lend Lease are the management contractors for Media City:UK, which is being developed and managed by Peel Media, a division of the Peel Group, with the support of partners including the Northwest Regional Development Agency, Central Salford Urban Regeneration Company and Salford City Council.
AFI Director Graham Osmond said: “We are delighted to be working with Bovis Lend Lease on the Media City project and wanted to help them celebrate the anniversary by contributing to a cake, although with so many people on site it needed to be an enormous cake.”
